The 1% Better Runner with DLake

Drink War Juice To Race Faster


Listen Later

The endurance sports season is about to get into full gear in both the northern and southern hemisphere. So we want to share with you how to get a mega huge boost in your performance with a drink that we both use personally.


In this episode, we break down WAR JUICE! It actually works (yes scientific studies have proven the benefits and I've seen the gains myself), it tastes great, and it makes you feel like you are drinking blood from a sci-fi movie or something.


The three main ingredients are Tart Cherry Juice, Cordyceps Mushroom, and Beetroot juice. Since the airing of this episode I've enhanced it by adding in unflavoured BCAAs (4-8mg) and creatine monohydrate (3-5mg).


What You Will Learn


  • Whats in the drink and why each ingredient is so damn powerful
  • How to use it
  • When to use it
  • Where to get the ingredients
  • What the studies have shown of the power of each ingredient
  • How Beetroot juice actually works in aiding your next PR
  • And Much More!
